Since flax seeds are so small to begin with, you can use a slightly shallower version of the same measuring spoon. For example, if it calls for 1 tsp, then instead of a level teaspoon, try filling the teaspoon slightly less full of the ground version to account for the minuscule spacing between that would have been the whole seeds.
